Let me present my new partner…Nikon Coolpix S8200 or mr Slim as I call him. Mr Big (my Nikon D5100) is a heavy weighter and sometimes I need a slim and light weighted camera to bring along with me and after looking for a good one me and Nikon Coolpix S8200 found each other, love at first sight I would say!

I think this camera will be perfect to bring with me on a daily basis and it will be a great complement to my Nikon D5100 with the lens Nikkor 35 mmf/1.8 G that I bring with me on my travels. First I was thinking about buying a new lens to my Nikon D5100…but the weight of the lens I wanted is 600g = too heavy. So I think this lightweighted Nikon Coolpix S8200 will cover my needs….. My weekend in London next week will be the first challenge for mr Slim and I will bring along mr Big too for all the close-up photos.

Thanks for all the camera recommendations you gave me in my previous blogpost about cameras!

Staring on the interior – the first thing I do rather than checking out the new collection…that’s me in a nutshell. This is one of my favourite stores in Paris, All Saints! Love the old Singer sewing machines they have in their shopping windows, the bricks on the walls and the industrial lamps. Besides their interior I love their boots (I have some pairs) and their printed shirts, leather jackets and outerwear…. I would describe the style of their clothes as vintage meets industrial with a warm and soft touch of bohemian.

Café Charlot in Paris is one of my favourite places for having an utterly delicious brunch at. It is a place I discovered when I moved to Paris in January 2010 and ever since I had my first brunch there I fell in love. Love affair deluxe I would call it…

As you can see in the photo above, me and my friends all went for their classic brunch menu: fresh squeezed orange juice, hot chocolate (to die for! Thick and creamy texture….), pain perdu, toast, cherry tomatos and shallots, fresh fruit salad, scrambled organic eggs with smoked salmon and soft chive cream cheese. Can you ask for more? This is THE place to bring your friends for some Sunday chillaxing and gossiping (ofcourse! we all want to know what happened last night at the party if your memory failed on you…) while endulging yourselves with a delicious brunch.

Café Charlot is located in the Marais district and is situated just across the Marché des Enfants Rouges (the oldest food market in Paris). It is a bistro with a retro interior and a very fashionable clientel…oh yes, this is the place were you can see the trendy Parisians almost fighting for a free table inside Café Charlot…..

It’s definately the place to be, either if you want to have a delicious brunch…or just be in the middle of a fashionshow ;-)

p.s. I’m not into burgers BUT Café Charlot‘s actual specialty is the cheese burger...which all my friends gives the thumb up for. So if you share the same passion, Café Charlot is the place!

Another Nué is one of my favourite boutiques in Copenhagen. Before I discovered the boutique and I passed it by for the very first time it was closed….but the beautiful Jieldé lamps and the rest of the interior that consists of old antiques from France where almost screaming to me throughout the shopping window to come by another time. And so I did :-) The staff was very friendly and I told them I had been working with antiques in Paris and they shared another secret with me…they told me the source of their interior. To be continued ;-)

But before I end this blogpost….besides that I totally fell in love with the interior of this boutique I also liked their collections that are from brands such as Etoile Isabel Marant, Charles Philip, Alexander Wang, Givenchy, Jérôme Dreyfuss, Acne etc.

Lauritz is a web auction house but they have a showroom in the department-store MOOD in Stockholm. There you can see some of their different objects…for example these industrial chairs I saw last weekend when I was there.

That’s another thing I haven’t shared with you on my blog…my addiction to auctions…Lauritz is one of my favourites, they have a ntework with auction houses in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Belgium.

Let me introduce you to Posh Living, an interior design boutique situated in the new department-store called MOOD in Stockholm. When I was there last weekend I totally fell in love with these cute cups with butterflies on, aren’t they adorable? Simple things with beautiful details ;-)

I liked Posh Livings assortment and different brands…even though everything was new produced (which I’m allergic too…I prefer OLD and USED…with history and plenty of charm!). They had my favourite chairs (that can be found in Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris)..simply called Luxembourg chair from the brand Fermob, chairs from Tolix, lamps from Jieldé….and books from Taschen :-)
